To be eligible for admission, applicants must have a minimum cumulative undergraduate as well as cumulative science/math GPA of 2.75 at the time of application. Applications from individuals with GPAs below 2.75 will not be reviewed for admission.
Prerequisite Educational RequirementsA baccalaureate degree is not required; however, in order to be competitive, it is highly recommended. Candidates who have received or will receive a baccalaureate degree prior to matriculation will be considered more favorably than applicants who have fulfilled only the prerequisites for admission. All prerequisites must be either completed, in progress, or projected before your application for admission will be reviewed. At the time of application you may be in the process of completing the prerequisites, but all prerequisites must be satisfactorily completed by the spring quarter or semester of the year of entry into the program.
These prerequisites are to be taken at a two-year or four-year accredited college or university. Because a solid understanding of the basic physical and biological sciences is essential for the study of the applied pharmaceutical, applicants are required to have successfully completed all prerequisite courses with a grade of C or better.
For a course to be acceptable in fulfilling the prerequisites, it must be at the level of those required for a major in the field. Introductory courses in the sciences are not accepted. Grades of Pass/No Pass will not be accepted. Distance or online education courses will not be accepted. Final determination of acceptability of course as prerequisites resides with the School of Pharmacy Admissions Committee in conjunction with the Loma Linda University Registrar.
